A father whose daughter was taken off life support following complications in child birth has said goodbye to her just days after his apartment was destroyed by a fire.

Wilbur Crockett's 23-year-old daughter, Destiny Crockett, was put on life support after the delivery of her second child, a girl, at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston on April 20, the Portland Press Herald reported.

'I
said my final goodbyes today before they took her off life support,' he told the newspaper, adding that her organs had been given to donors.

'I feel something good should come out of this even though it is a terrible loss for our family,' he said.

Crockett's loss came after his third floor apartment in Biddeford was ravaged by fire that appeared to have started on the floor below on Saturday afternoon, WGME reported. The cause of the fire is not yet known and no one was hurt, although cats were killed.

Mystery still surrounds exactly what went wrong in Destiny's delivery and officials at Central Maine Medical Center would not provide details, citing confidentiality.
